Louis Gandolfi and Sons of 84 Hall Road, Peckham Rye, London, SE15.
Louis Gandolfi, manufacturer of large format cameras
1885 Company founded by Louis Gandolfi. Made cameras in the traditional style using wood and brass for many years.
1928 Louis handed over the company to his sons, Arthur, Frederick and Thomas, who continued to run the company in the traditional way. They never employed more than a few staff, and were a small craftsman-type operation. They made many cameras as one-offs, to individual requirements.
The Gandolfi company was sold when the brothers retired but still continued to make cameras, both the traditional mahogany and brass models and the new Variant models.
1933(?) The last Gandolfi brother, Arthur, died.
